“White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These…

Mango Mussolini calls himself “smart,” but that doesn’t mean it’s true. There’s NO SUCH THING as an anti-choice feminist.

:(

Come hang out at the Lagunitas Community Room with the Oregon Women’s Campaign School beforehand!!! <3

aigdrone is just a burner account, and he or she has been posting pages and pages of complete crap for the past two weeks (like, literally every day... aigdrone clearly has no life or friends or self respect). More and more of these burner accounts have been popping up here lately. :/

Wow! Pages and pages of utterly stupid comments EVERY DAY since you started this burner account two weeks ago! You must feel like such an accomplished little troll....

Just a quick PSA: Check out aigdrone’s comment history... he or she is basically just a troll with no life (literally pages of asinine posts every day, and this account was only opened on Dec. 29). This has been happening a LOT here lately. A ton of burner accounts have been popping up for the express purpose of…

I smell a fresh burner account! Clearly, little TROLL, you’re commenting here with the sole purpose of upsetting people. Sooooo...

WARNING: “Linney Gable” is a burner account that was created just today for the express purpose of treating people like crap. This has been happening A LOT lately!!

Wow, given your clearly productive and deeply meaningful life, it must have been really tough for you to dedicate SO much of your time today to creating this burner account, and then typing pages and PAGES of truly asinine comments to strangers on the internet...

This is a PSA: squaresign and b000p (and probably plenty of others commenting on this article) are new burner accounts. They’ve come here with the express purpose of being assholes. I suggest we treat them accordingly. ;)

Right?? Can we also “inflict” on him the discomfort of nine months of pregnancy, the fear of a potential job loss due to the lack of guaranteed maternity leave, at least one full year of limited sleep, and a solid 18 years of unwanted child-related expenses?

All the stars to you.

Right??? One of my (white male) friends started babbling at me about the “basket of deplorables” comment as if that somehow negated the misogyny of this election cycle. Had Hillary Clinton been a man and said the same damn thing (which was accurate, btw, and I say that as one who grew up in Trump country), she’d be…

LAUREN DUCA IS A GODDAMN HERO.

A friend sent me this link to Fox New’s Shep Smith (!!) absolutely skewering Trump on this topic (Smith appears visibly upset by Trump’s denials of Russian influence on the election). I’m 100% certain at this point that hell hath frozen over.

Actually, if the voted in Clinton, they would be deciding the president based on the popular vote, not “independently” at all.

STRONGLY AGREE. I grew up in a very rural agricultural community that had some of these perks and not others. The ONLY people who support the Electoral College at this point are those who are ignorant of its history and are playing devil’s advocate mainly for the attention (literally no one likes those people), and…

Right? If the current Israeli government represents all Jewish people, then I guess the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition represents all Catholics.

I’ve also spent lots of time in this very area, and I have family members who have suffered from addiction. Prison is (usually) NOT the place to rehab an addiction, and it’s certainly not the way to handle non-violent offenders. I’m also going to point out that while corruption isn’t exactly unique to the area,…
